Ugo Intini died, at the age of 82, last night in Milan, after a long illness.
He leaves behind his wife Carla and his son Carlo.
He was for a long time director of the socialist newspaper Avanti!, of Il Lavoro of Genoa and a member of parliament for four legislatures.
This is what the PSI said in a note.
"Ugo Intini - continues the note - held government positions in the second Amato Government (2000-2001) and in the second Prodi Government (2006-2008) in both in the role of Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs. As a socialist, Ugo Intini has told important pages of the history of our country from the privileged observatory which was the secretariat of the PSI in the 1980s, where he held the position of information manager, spokesperson of the PSI, representative of the party at the Socialist International, alongside Bettino Craxi In the difficult years after Tangentopoli, Ugo Intini never leaves the PSI, but continues to generously give his contribution of ideas, accompanying the party and its militants on a difficult path of reformist reaffirmation in the following years, up to the present day , where his presence was never lacking. Intini's extensive literary production is remembered, through which he explored the contours of a country in continuous transformation, highlighting even unknown aspects of history, which concerned many of the political actors of the our recent past.
The last book, "Witnesses of a century" is from 2022. The PSI, in memory of Ugo Intini, will display the flag at half-mast in the party headquarters in Rome as a sign of mourning".
